I rarely keep things just out of sentimental attachment. If I look at it and think it's ugly or I just don't want it, it goes in the charity bag. If I have no sentimental attachment at all, but look at it and really like it and want to have it in my house to see I keep it.
That being said, I have a picture of sort of ancestor who is possibly one of the homeliest women I've ever seen and reportedly not all that nice, but I still have it. Granted its in the closet behind the clothes, but it just seems sort of sacrilegious to just toss her out! I may have Grandma Brue around forever.
